NFL Hall of Fame 2010

[BB73]

Which players will be selected for this year's Hall of Fame class, which will be announced tomorrow?

Sorry, no free money for Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, who are first-ballot locks.

The odds are mine. I've extended the bet to be open until mid-afternoon on Saturday.

Wow, great v-bet...I'm gonna have to think about this one some. I'd like to lay money against Floyd Little at those odds though...

 

[BB73]

Bump for the afternoon crowd.

 

[NFBuck]

v$10M each on Carter, Randle, Dawson and Sharpe.

I almost bet on him. I'm too greedy though, and the odds weren't good enough.

Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice highlight 7-man Pro Football Hall of Fame class - ESPN

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- All-time greats Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith led a class of seven into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

The NFL's career receiving and rushing leaders were joined in the Hall by John Randle, Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson, Floyd Little and Dick LeBeau. Little and LeBeau were elected as senior committee nominees.

No Carter again :(

F*cking ridiculous.

 

[NFBuck]

Fucking bullshit. 130 touchdowns.

Cock Mother f#ckers, Bill Greene's piece on Scout was even more eye opening.

 

[starBUCKS]

Damn this feels like a set up.

Rickey Jackson was a very good player. Bu a Hall of Famer? Over Cris Carter? Come on...

Who the f*ck is Rickey Jackson?

 

[NFBuck]

Who the f*ck is Rickey Jackson?

Precisely. He was a very good pass rushing LB for the Saints from the late-80's thru the '90's. Cris Carter scored more touchdowns than Rickey Jackson had sacks. Fucking ponderous.

Not to piss on cornflakes here, but there was no way that another receiver was going to get in the same year Rice did. He was getting the WR stage all to himself this year, as it should be really. So no Carter, no Brown, no Reed, no Sharpe. The thing to watch will be the next couple of years, because (A) the voters have been hard on WRs, and B) there will be a "pecking order" in some fashion with Carter, Tim Brown, Andre Reed, and Shannon Sharpe (who was basically a WR).

So it's really not "Rickey Jackson over Carter" because they judge all of the positions independently. The real problem for Carter, from what I have gathered from people close to the voting, is that there are about 8 voters who are adamantly opposed to voting for Carter...and unless at least a couple change their minds, he won;t get in at all.

All that said, congrats to the Class of 2010 and especially our man Dick LeBeau...it is well deserved and I'm glad he gets to enjoy it.

Oh, and congrats to me for my Russ Grimm bet
